This week we're departing from our usual moral/political philosophy topics to discuss something a bit different: old stuff. What counts as "retro" or "classic" or "vintage"? Can it even be rigorously defined?

This week, we discuss two types of minimalism: the classic type that seems to have been forgotten amidst the minimalist art aesthetic, and digital minimalism. Both of these philosophies will have us examine how we allocate our time and whether or not that is conducive to achieving our goals.

It is often the case that people focus on the symptoms rather than the causes of problems in their lives or society at large. This week, we consider some examples of such situations and direct attention to the things that do actually matter.

Museums are a particularly interesting case of a so-called public good. This week, we discuss the origins of museums, controversy regarding historical artifacts, a way they could exist without public support, and as always a few tangents.
